CT winces sympathetically. "Shit. That— sounds horrific. When a situation goes south in space it really goes south."
She knows that well enough. When you're stuck on a ship, travelling through space, your options are limited. There never was an attack on the Invention itself, but doing the work she was doing, hiding it from the higher ups...

"I've been lucky enough not to deal with ours up close, I was always fighting in the back channels of the war where we had to deal with other people more than the alien threat. Not that it was all sunshine and rainbows back there, it definitely wasn't—the amount of infighting when we were literally facing extinction is..." she blows air.
It drives her insane, not least because it's not as if she doesn't understand why the Insurrection dislikes the UNSC, but with the Covenant...
"Anyway. There aren't a lot of us around here that come from worlds with proper spacefaring. I know a couple others personally and I think there's a couple I don't know yet, but..." They're still pretty uncommon, overall. "I'm CT."
